You can destroy the Mosques but never bring Gaza to its knees

203 Mosques were targeted in Gaza, 73 destroyed completely but the people will never kneel before Israel. Israel is not only hitting the essential infrastructure of Gaza, targeting ambulances, hospitals, disabled centres, water supply, civilian houses they are trying to rip out the heart of Gaza by targeting over 10 mosques over the last 7…

Massacre in Rafah

The massacre in Rafah overwhelmed the local hospitals many of which had been forced to close after shelling rendered them unsafe. Bodies crammed into the morgues in August heat..spilled out into the corridors of the hospital and were being stored in any refrigerated unit that was still working after electricity has been cut to the…

Tunnel or Die

Let me briefly explain life under occupation in France..not only in WW2 but at many other times when our own sleepy little town of Le Dorat was under attack. Below the ground of this town is a honeycomb system of tunnels and secret passageways dating back to medieval times. These tunnels were originally used by…

Ceasefire or Freedom

I am no politician but what is so hard about allowing people to have their human rights and freedom to walk in the streets of their city without fear of being flattened by a drone missile or a bomb. This constant ceasefire limbo is simply another form of torture. Last nights vacillation up to the…

Hamdan

I met Hamdan in 2012 at the Al Amal Institute for Orphans. He crept into my heart and has stayed there ever since with his shy smile and his cloak of sadness. I look at the sun touching his eyes in this photo and I know I would do anything in my power to save…

We are all Gaza.

As the airstrikes continue unabated across the Gaza Strip, adjectives to describe this culling of human lives drain from my mind. I am wordless in a sea of blood and lost in a fog of dying breaths. When you see an image like this, the monstrous missile strewn like some dead animal in the room…

The Fishermen

When you keep your eye on the horizon of your dreams and you strain against the leash that holds you back. You ebb and you flow with the tide of hatred and repression that flows from the occupying shores like black ink on the waves. You strain every sinew to beat back the bullets, to…

Hidden Death.

This view is becoming familiar but no less shocking every time I see it. Imagine this were London or New York. It is Apocalyptic in the immensity of devastation and the grey pallour of the aftermath of another Israeli offensive against a defenceless people. Death still lurks in Gaza despite the skies being empty of…

A Tragic Outcome!

A tragic outcome!! The target was Hamas Terrorist operatives! Where in the footage of this massacre do we see the imaginary Hamas operatives? In the smouldering embers of the obliterated shack? On the beach? In the sky? There were no Hamas operatives. This was murder. If the world is stupid enough to accept the Israeli…

No Peace without Justice

I keep posting about increasing violence, restrictions and suffocation of Human & Civil rights in Palestine by the Occupying Force of Israel. Having rendered Gaza virtually uninhabitable and ensured that the people will suffer unendurable misery the attention of the IOF now seems to be on a campaign of terror in the rest of Palestine.…
